Online Learning

Online Learning has always been an important part of Tapestry’s work because so few easily-accessible resources clearly explain the philosophical premises on which we base the things we do. We have therefore worked diligently to explain the core principles of the Circle and the ways those apply to Ways of Learning and Knowing and our mission. In the process, we created pages that apply the different Ways of Knowing to a specific natural phenomenon — tornadoes — so that people can see how the system works.

Our pages on Intellectual, Experiential, Spiritual, Mythic, and Integrated Ways of Learning About Tornadoes have always been popular and were even quoted extensively in The Washington Post a number of years ago. They remain in fairly heavy use by the public as well as students in elementary and high school classrooms.

In the years since we first published both the Tornado pages and the ones on Indigenous Science, many more resources have become available. But since people still access what we have up, we have kept in place the resources that serve those who find them useful.
